Art on Saturdays: Mosaics with Kate van Nooten

Saturday 14 and 21 June, 10.30AM—2PM

Delivered across two weekends, this fun mosaic workshop is for all skill levels. Led by experienced artist Kate van Nooten, the series will begin with an introduction to mosaic tools, materials, process and design, before selecting a piece of pre-cut cement-sheet as a base. Participants will choose a colour scheme to begin the mosaic process. Once complete and the grout solidifies, paint is added to the surrounds of the piece.

About the artist: Kate van Nooten is a mixed-media 3D artist currently based in Strathbogie, Taungurung country. Her journey into mosaics began in 2004, joining a team working alongside Melbourne sculptor, Deborah Halpern, which included the restoration of the NGV's Angel sculpture at Birrarung Marr. Kate has since created many public works around the Surfcoast Shire and Bellarine Peninsula. Kate's own work is inspired by community and her inextricable reverence for the sacred design of the organic world.
